THE COMING CONCERT
Under the Auspices of the Young Wo
mems Christian Association.

Under the Auspices Of the Young Wo.
mems Christian Association.
One of the most absorbing topics OF con-
versation among society people just at pres
ent is the concert which the Young Women's
Christian association will give at the Hype-
rion on Wednesday evening next. This will
be the first appearance of the new glee club,
which is always matter of interest. A full
list Of attractions will be published later.
Tickets for the concert have been placed at
the extremely low price of fifty cents, with
an additional charge of twenty-five cents for
reserved seats. Judging from present indi-
cations the seating capacity of the theater
will be taxed to its utmost, as the demand
for tickets is unusually large, one friend of
the association having already disposed of
one hundred and fifty. Three or four of the
boxes are also taken, and all who wish to
attend the concert should secure tickets at
once.

ROARD OF PUBLIC WORKS

Corporation Counsel DrIsc0ll Renders
An Opinion on the Lombard Street
ExtenstOn-Fhe City Cannot Legally
Take the Land Belonging to the De.
pot Site.
At the meeting of the board of public
works held last evening Superintendent S.
E. Granniss, representing the New Haven
Water company, advocated the petition for
leave to lay water main across the Howard
avenue bridge over the tracks of the Conso1i-
dated road. On motion of Commissioner
Whitney the matter was referred to Commits
sioner States and City Engineer Hill with
power to act.
II. P. Hubbard appeared before the board
and asked that cross basin be put in at the
corner of Pearl and Pleasant streets At the
last meeting of the board the matter was re-
ferred to the city engineer.
Daniel Trowbridge was granted permission
to build driveway over the gutter at his
residence on Beers street.
In reply to the inquiry whether Lombard
street can be extended through land at the
junction of the Hartford and Shore Line di-
visions of the Consolidated road, which is to
be used by the railroad company for railroad
purposes, Corporation Counsel Driscoll sent
the following written opinion to the board
''It has been decided by the Supreme court
of this State, in the case of the Evergreen
Cemetery association vs.. the city of New
Haven, that land held for and appropriated
for one public use cannot be taken by a city
for another public use inconsistent with it.
Merely making a layout Of Lombard street
over the land in question does not take the
land, as under our charter and the decision
of the Supreme court, in the case of Carson
in the city of Hartford, land is not taken for
a public street until benefits and damages
are assessed and accepted by the Court of
Common Council am informed that con-
siderable work has been done on the land in
question to prepare it for a depot site and
that the foundation walls of the depot are
now being erected. 1t is, therefore, my
opinion that the land in question cannot be
taken by the city for the extension of LOm-
bard street."
On motion of Commissioner Whitney the
order for layout was referred back to the
Court of Common Council together with the
opinion of Mr. Driscoll for further instruc-
tions.
Several orders from the Common Council
relating to sewers and walks were tabled.

ArmOur's Beef House Burned.

Chicago, Ills, July 27.-A fire
starting in Armour's new beef house
at the stock yards this morning
caused loss of nearly 100000, to
offset which there was an insurance
of $4,000. The beef house was
cheap two-story and basement frame
structure, veneered with brick, and
covered nearly an entire square. The
basement contained about 25,OOO
hides. On the first floor were be
tween 1900 and 1000 dressed cattle
and over 1000 undressed, while on
the second floor were 500 dressed
sheep and about 100 hogs. The
building was almost totally destroy
ed and most, if not all, the contents
suffered similar fate, although
Armour believes that the salvage
will be large enough, especially ON
hides, to enable him to get out
about even. The insurance was all
| on the stock except $4,000 and was
! distributed among q very large nuan-
Der of companies.
